What is UAN?
UAN is a 12 digit unique account number appointed to each representative of Employee Provident Fund (EPF) through which an individual can get hold of all his EPF accounts. A single UAN will be conjoined with an employee, links all his accounts crosswise which are being connected to the organizations. This unique number was promulgated by the Ministry of Labor and Employment, Govt. of India. The previous circumstance was bothersome because of several account numbers allocated to the workers on changing jobs. These account numbers belonging to a private were bothersome to handle. And, for that reason the federal government chose to take an effort to experience this issue and releaseded the concept of Universal Account Number (UAN). This is a single universal ID which manages all other accounts of provident funds and made today situation of the workers quite much easier.
The federal government took an extremely good initiative towards UAN for the employees and it made their life much simpler and ensured security in every aspect.
